Ooooooo...and we'll expect pictures of that on Friday! Nice choice.

Will do... At the very end of the Superbowl, they gave one out to Eli Manning, a triple black convertible, non callaway... Those GM peeps know how to run those ads, it sold me anyway. I haven't had a Vette in like 20 years. I've been driving boring cars for way too long now, and the midlife crisis has fully kicked in lately...

Gruerro,

Nice family photo! Inbreeding is still popular in Gaithersburg MD, huh? just joking with you man, but you should tighten up on your H2 visual skills. Peace out Newbie.

Thanks... and yes I do agree, I think it's kinda like the "black" thing, once you go "08", you never go back har har...

It's weird saying thanks, Its like I originally was posting pics of this other guys H2 and just getting opionions on it. It still doesn't feel like it's mine because of the modifications that I would of never chosen to do. It's just really not the same as when I bought one new.., I'm sure someone here who bought a custom one knows what I mean? It's kinda like when you're walking your dog and someone says "nice dog" and you say "thanks"... Well you didn't really make the dog, you feel kinda dumb saying thanks... ok at least I do, but I am neurotic... I think that's the word...

So also good timing on asking for more pics. I was just having a disagreement with the wife on posting pics here. She said "thats enough you're being a show off". I agree a tad, but.. #1, I really don't feel like it's my truck still, #2, I want to get opionions, #3, we did hopefully solve the $15 thousand dollar question, and #4, guys like to see their damn pics, wether it's girls or cars, doesnt matter how good or bad they look, they are all just different...

I actually just put some vent shades on it too, and told her as simple as it is, that I bet peolpe want to see an updated pic now. I know I would, that's how I figured out what I liked and disliked for mods on my past H2's... So I might just post one more, then I'm done

Fore Sure. Here is a friends EnglandGreen 703 HorsePower 2010 Camaro 2SS/RS LS3 429ci Stroker that I’ll be doing some work on this spring. The car is full blown! I’d love to own it, but there would be nothing else for me to do to it, so I understand your thinking with the H2 already having rims and a few other goodies on it. Those items on the H are bare minium(sp), so be proud and keep us posted on any new upgrades

Cool you posted that pic, the wife turned, understands now, and wants to see more, she loves it! lol.. I am not a fan of ground effects but the new Camaro looks so much better with them than not. The flames are a nice touch too rather than the boring white stripes,,, the rims,,, and the motor of course! Damn, it desn't matter that he is done, he did a great job, I don't think I would change anything on that one,, That's really the nicest one I have seen!

ok.... hows this...

[2010_5thgen]

yes, please post pics of the vette when you get it. and those hummers looks great together.

[Bimmer9938]

Your H2 has Real Wheels hood latches too... not exactly cheap (same ones I have).

I did notice they seemed beefier than the stock ones. They're very well made... I was bothered at first that he removed the chrome ones, but these grew on me too... Was a good choice

[Bimmer9938]

I have the entire Real Wheels black powder coated billet collection on my H2, my side marker trims I had machined out to fit over the IPCR covers.

[Bimmer9938]

Those 37x13.50x24 Toyo's are stupid expensive, but awesome. I used to run those same tires. I think retail in around $869.ea +s/h.

Well the new car came in today but it wasn't the Vette, not even close actually... Got another Mini Cooper, this time black. So I figured I would repeat the famous Mini sandwich...

I cancelled the Vette. I was having a lot of pre-buyers remorse, spending $100k on a Callaway...

[s_c5519]

Here's another shot, sans Mini...

[2010_5thgen]

i wouldnt spend 100k on a callaway either...now a lingenfelter...thats another story. or id just buy a used ZR1.

Wow, what good timing... How about a "new" ZR1?!

[2010_5thgen]

hehe yes... Thanks! I actually ended up having buyers remorse for the black Mini Cooper. lol... I wanted the Callaway for the automatic and convertible, but the people in the forums all said the supercharger cost of $25k was crazy and Callaway doesn't really give much more other than doors sills and the name...

So there were two Centennial ZR1's in my area this morning I email both dealers with offers and one came back with $16+k under sticker! I wasn't gonna give that up. He told me after the sale that he lost $2k plus on the car. He had it for many months and couldn't sell it, even had it up on Ebay...
